Ultimate Creativity  
Image quality that far exceeds anything in its class, plus an evolved 24p/30p progressive function  
High Image Quality with 12-Bit A/D Conversion  
The AG-DVX100A features an A/D converter that uses the same 12-bit  
processing as broadcast camera-recorders. Precisely digitizing the  
gradation and colors captured by the progressive CCD, this A/D  
converter supports gamma switching and other fine downstream image  
adjustments — one of the keys to achieving rich image expression.  
RGB Gamma Processor Provides Rich, Cine-Like Tones  
Panasonic has greatly expanded the expressive  
capability of the DV camera by creating  
unique gamma functions such as Cine-Like  
gamma curves, which produce images  
strikingly similar in tone to film images. For  
each of the RGB signals, the gamma curve  
settings are processed immediately upstream  
from the digital signal processing circuit. This  
helps achieve outstanding image quality.  
The AG-DVX100A now introduces three new  
gamma curve settings — Cine-Like-D, Cine-  
Like-V, and B.Press — giving you a total of seven to work with.  
Superior Image Rendering with the Leica Dicomar™ Lens, Plus OIS  
The Leica Dicomar lens featured in the AG-DVX100A incorporates  
Leica optical technology and know-how. Use of low-dispersion glass  
reduces color aberration and increases resolution, while a multi-coating  
process minimizes flare and ghosts. The results are sharp, crisp,  
beautifully rendered images with delicate nuances and exceptional  
shading. The lens system features 15 lens elements in 11 groups,  
including three aspherical lenses. Panasonic's advanced OIS (Optical  
Image Stabilizer) drastically cuts the blurring caused by hand shake.  
Optical processing with an automatic correction function helps assure  
consistently clear, sharp images.

410,000-Pixel, 3CCD Image System Provides F11 Sensitivity for  
Superior Image Quality  
Panasonic designed the AG-DVX100A  
to deliver the highest sensitivity and  
picture quality in its class. At its heart is  
a 3CCD RGB system comprising three  
1/3-inch, 410,000-pixel progressive  
CCDs developed especially for  
broadcast and professional  
High-Quality, Native Progressive 24p/30p Mode  
Choose from three shooting modes: 24p (24 fps, progressive) for images  
with the look and motion of film movies, 30p (30 fps, progressive), or  
standard 60i (60 fps, interlace). Thanks to its progressive CCD,  
the AG-DVX100A creates native progressive images with outstanding  
vertical resolution — unlike images produced using conventional  
electronic interpolation. With its high mobility and low costs,  
the AG-DVX100A is the ideal tool for producing indies, shorts, or  
streaming video.  
applications. The new on-chip lens  
design achieves high F11 sensitivity, allowing the AG-DVX100A to  
record in light as dim as below three lux, for example, in nighttime  
news gathering. Picture quality is outstanding, with a high S/N ratio that  
means less noise in darker parts of the image and low smear that allows  
shooting in sunlight or under bright spotlights.  
High-Sensitivity Slow Shutter (in cumulative) Function  
The slow shutter function uses image accumulation to enable shutter  
speeds with frame rates reduced by half or more. You get the ultra-high  
sensitivity needed for nighttime shooting without illumination, as well  
as dramatic frame-by-frame or soft focus effects.  
30p image  
(30 progressive frames per second)  
60i image  
(60 interlace fields per second)  
24p Advance Mode — For 24p Non-Linear Editing  
In 24p mode, images from the CCD can be 2:3 pulldown-converted  
(24p Mode) or 2:3:3:2 pulldown-converted (24p Advance Mode) and  
recorded onto tape in the standard 60i TV format. The tape can then be  
played back or edited using an ordinary DV system. True 24p editing  
can be achieved by uploading 2:3:3:2 pulldown-converted images via  
an IEEE1394 DV interface to a compatible non-linear editing system.*  
The 24p Advance Mode allows 60i/24p conversion with minimal image  
degradation.

24p/30p Shooting Functions for  
Professionals  
Acting on requests from professional users, Panasonic gave  
the AG-DVX100A several functions that improve shooting ease in  
24p/30p Progressive mode.  
• Focus assist*  
• Gain up (+12 dB max.)  
• SMPTE Color bar display and output  
*Auto focus in 24p/30p mode requires slightly more focusing time than in 60i mode.  
Ideal for Active Use  
Improvements in operating ease, mobility and reliability make the AG-DVX100A ideal for professionals.  
Three User Buttons for Customized Operation  
The AG-DVX100A provides three user buttons, each of which can be  
assigned any one of the 11 functions described below.  
The assigned functions can then be accessed at the touch of a  
button. This lets you customize the AG-DVX100A for quicker,  
easier, more versatile operation.

Wide-Angle/Zoom Lens Answers Professional Needs  
The AG-DVX100A's zoom lens extends all the way to 4.5 mm  
(equivalent to 32.5mm on a 35mm lens), covering the full wide-angle  
range needed in most broadcast and professional shooting. It gives you  
ample range for close-ups, recording in small rooms, and self-recorded  
interviews. There's no need to carry around a bulky wide-angle  
conversion lens. And with a minimum object distance (MOD) of  
approximately 0.6 meter (1.9 ft) in telephoto mode, the AG-DVX100A  
has the maneuverability of a handheld camera.  
Scene File Dial Provides Quick, Easy Setup  
Set this dial for any particular shooting  
conditions, and later you can retrieve the  
settings instantly. Six preset files are provided  
(F1 to F6, described below); you can change  
any of the six file names and their settings as  
desired. The AG-DVX100A also introduces a  
new design in which a rib protects the scene  
file dial to prevent unintentional file changes.

The cam-driven (mechanical) manual zoom ring provides the same  
smooth, easy zooming as cameras with interchangeable lenses.  
Its direct operation gives you fast, precise zooming control. You'll also  
notice the AG-DVX100A's improved operating feel. When you turn the  
zoom ring, you experience the similar steady resistance as with familiar  
35mm lenses.  
The AG-DVX100A is also equipped with a servo-driven zoom that  
allows slow zooming at a speed of approximately 50% slower than its  
predecessor. Slowest zoom has been reduced to a dramatic 30 seconds  
from 20 seconds.

3-Position White Balance with Auto Tracking White Function  
One press of the AWB button is all it takes to adjust the white balance  
and black balance. There are three white balance values to select from:  
one that's preset, and two (A, B) that you can set and save in memory.  
The auto tracking white balance (ATW) function can also be assigned to  
any of the three positions. The ATW mode supports fast, active shooting  
by adjusting the white balance in real-time as lighting conditions  
change.  
Focus Assist  
Enjoy quick, sharp focusing manually or automatically. In manual  
mode, the focus ring provides the similar operating feel and responsive  
control as conventional cameras with interchangeable lenses. In auto  
mode, you get the quick, sharp focusing needed in news gathering or  
when shooting at a high or low angle.  
When set to infinity, the focal distance is immediately prepared for the  
next manual focus. When in manual mode, pressing the Push Auto  
button temporarily activates auto focus.  
Macro Focus can be achieved either Manually or Automatically when  
the zoom lens is in the wide angle position.  
Auto Button for Instant, Easy Shooting  
Just press the Auto button to turn on Auto Iris, Auto Gain, Auto Tracking  
White Balance, and Auto Focus — and you are quickly ready to shoot.  
You can also customize the Auto button by removing functions and  
setting the gain to any value desired.  
With this new Auto function, the AG-DVX100A gives you the best of  
both worlds -- the speed and ease of automatic operation, and the  
precision of manual control.  
Magnesium Alloy Chassis  
– The Rugged Durability Professionals Need  
The AG-DVX100A features the  
same magnesium alloy diecast  
chassis as our DVCPRO  
broadcast models. This tough,  
rigid unit protects the high-  
precision mechanism, giving  
the AG-DVX100A outstanding  
reliability and durability.  
Built for professionals,  
the AG-DVX100A stands up to  
the bumps and jolts that occur in the field.  
Lightweight Design with Balanced Grip  
The AG-DVX100A introduces a new design that ends the contradiction  
between a compact, lightweight body and a stable, secure hold. The  
center of balance is located precisely at the handgrip. Because there's  
no need for a wide-angle conversion lens, the weight balance is ideal  
for comfortable shooting. The AG-DVX100A's short body and light  
weight — it weighs only 4.189 lb (1.9Kg) in operating condition* —  
means free, easy maneuverability. Plus, the low-center-of-gravity design  
and new skeleton lens hood greatly improve forward vision.  
*Camera-recorder with DV cassette tape and supplied battery.  
Highly Reliable DV Mechanism  
Panasonic chose a DV  
mechanism for the  
AG-DVX100A because of its  
superior mobility, low running  
costs, extended recording  
capability, and easy tape  
availability. However, for the  
AG-DVX100A we developed a  
greatly enhanced, vastly more  
reliable mechanism than the  
ones used in home DV cameras  
and recorders. To minimize

head and automatic head cleaning function found in DVCPRO models.  
The sturdy loading system allows quick tape changes.  
Ideal for Active Use  
Improvements in operating ease, mobility and reliability make the AG-DVX100A ideal for professionals.  
Large Electronic Viewfinder  
The large viewfinder is easy to see  
through, even with your eye at a slight  
distance, and it tilts upward  
100° for easy low-angle  
shots. The AG-DVX100A  
also adds a B/W display  
mode*, detail (PEAKING)  
function, and image adjustment  
menu.  
*With the same high resolution as the color display  
3.5" Color LCD Monitor  
The large 3.5" color LCD monitor rotates 270°. This improves shooting  
flexibility by making it easier to monitor high-angle shots or self  
recordings. The display is bright, too, for easy viewing when monitoring  
images or selecting the menu settings. The AG-DVX100A also  
introduces a new detail (PEAKING) function that helps assure a sharp,  
easy-to-see display.  
XLR Audio Input with +48-V Phantom Power Supply  
Built-In SMPTE Time Code Generator/Reader  
In addition to built-in stereo microphones, the AG-DVX100A is  
equipped with two XLR audio input terminals with a 48-V phantom  
power supply for broadcast use. The terminals are positioned low on  
the camera to minimize the possibility of the cables being snagged  
when a hand mic is in use. Both input 1 and input 2 can be switched  
between line and mic, and Audio is locked to the Video unlike  
consumer DV camcorders.  
The AG-DVX100A records an SMPTE-compliant VTC onto the sub-code  
area of the tape. Select from DF/NDF and Free Run/Rec Run modes, and  
use preset or regen. User bits (UB) are also provided, letting you record  
your choice of date, time, TC value, frame rate, or user data.  
External Backup with the IEEE 1394 Synchro Lock Function  
The AG-DVX100A comes equipped with an IEEE 1394-compliant 4-pin  
DV terminal that makes it easy to upload data to a PC and dub onto a  
DV recorder. This terminal also features a new synchro lock function  
that allows the AG-DVX100A to remotely start and stop an external DV  
device connected to it via a DV cable. Three recording modes help  
protect against mistakes: record only onto the external recorder, record  
onto both the AG-DVX100A and the external recorder, begin external  
recording when the AG-DVX100A tape ends.  
Large Audio Dials and Flexible Input Selection  
The AG-DVX100A has the same  
kind of large level-adjustment dials  
as DVCPRO camera-recorders.  
This practical new design  
incorporates professional  
operating features that have been  
refined over years of use on  
location. A switch lets you select built-in mic, input 1, or input 2 for the  
audio input of both left and right channels. Auto gain level control can  
be turned on and off, and the input mic level (–50 dB/–60 dB) can be  
selected from the menu.
